Hi everyone! 👋

I’m currently based in the US, and I’m thinking of testing a simple service that could make shopping from US websites easier for Filipinos in the Philippines.

Imagine you’re browsing a US Pokémon website or store and you find something you really want.

You see the price.
You want to buy it.

But then:

❌ They don’t ship to the Philippines
❌ They require a US payment method
❌ You don’t have a US billing address
❌ You only have GCash/Maya or a Philippine card
❌ The product is unavailable locally or significantly more expensive in PH

So you just give up.

I’m thinking: why should being in the Philippines stop you from buying something that’s available online in the US?

The idea is simple:

You find the product yourself.

Send me the link or screenshot.

I’ll buy it here in the US using my US payment method, receive it here, and ship it directly to your home in the Philippines. 🇺🇸📦🇵🇭

You pay me in pesos, and I’ll give you the estimated total cost upfront before you decide.

Basically:

You shop the US.
I’ll be your US partner.

You shouldn’t have to think:

“I can’t buy that because I’m in the Philippines.”

Instead:

“I found it in the US. Let’s see how much it costs delivered to me.”

It could be Pokémon TCG cards, sealed products, Pokémon Center exclusives, special collections, accessories, plushies, or other Pokémon products that are legally allowed to be shipped internationally.

I’m starting very small and just trying to see if this is actually useful to people.

For the first few customers, I’m considering free/discounted shipping as a launch promo while I test the process.

Obviously, some products aren’t eligible for international shipping, and Philippine customs duties/taxes may apply.

If you’ve ever wanted something from a US Pokémon website but couldn’t buy it because they wouldn’t ship to the Philippines or you couldn’t use your Philippine payment method, would you use a service like this?

If yes, feel free to comment or DM me. I’d also love to hear how you’re currently getting around this problem. 🇵🇭❤️🇺🇸

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m currently based in the US, and I’m thinking of testing a simple service that could make buying books from US websites easier for Filipinos in the Philippines.

Imagine you’re browsing a US bookstore or publisher website and you find a book you really want.

You see the price.
You want to buy it.

But then:

❌ They don’t ship to the Philippines
❌ They require a US payment method
❌ You don’t have a US billing address
❌ You only have GCash/Maya or a Philippine card
❌ The book is unavailable locally or significantly more expensive in PH

So you just give up.

You pay me in pesos, and I’ll give you the estimated total cost upfront before you decide.

Basically:

You shop US bookstores.
I’ll be your US partner.

You shouldn’t have to think:

“I can’t buy that because I’m in the Philippines.”

Instead:

“I found it in the US. Let’s see how much it costs delivered to me.”

It could be a new release, special edition, niche title, academic book, or simply a book that’s difficult to find here.

I’m starting very small and just trying to see if this is actually useful to people.

For the first few customers, I’m considering free/discounted shipping as a launch promo while I test the process.

Obviously, some products aren’t eligible for international shipping, and Philippine customs duties/taxes may apply.
